I met, quite by accident, a descendant of the Maryland branch of the first original Dennis family of America. He is one of Chicago's most able and prominent editors.

Download or read book Poetry of the People Classic Reprint written by Charles Mills Gayley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetry of the People Here are ballads of the olden time, direct and naive, easy to understand, save where some antiquated word or phrase may intervene, and then glossary and notes stand ready to help out, - ballads made to say and to sing; stories of heroic adventure, romantic and supernatural; whilom fyttes and modern instances of patriotism and devotion; songs of homely sentiment, popular spirit, and nationality; themes mostly external and concrete, - the poetry of history, such as appealed naively to the listen ing and consentaneous crowd. And if occasionally there is here to be found the poetry also of suggestion for the individual who reads and reflects, it is always of emotions simple and unsophisticated, universal, abiding, and sincere. Here, too, are manly ideals, ancient but ever-living. If this little bark succeeds in making the haven of the heart, it may also, perchance, succeed in unlading the hope with which it is fraught. Who can estimate the gain to the American Spirit, and by that we mean the spirit of rational freedom expressed in terms of nationality, the gain that would ensue, if our youth would but occupy and prize the literary heritage that is theirs? The poetry of the people of England, Ireland, Scotland, and America has for us a certain scriptural worth as well as historic. Is it not the immemorial record of sentiment, sacrifice, and ideal - the most enduring and the noblest of our fore fathers; is it not the conserver of that expe'rience whence proceed our present prestige and security? Now, naturally effective in the development and discipline of the national pride as is an intimate acquaintance with national history.

This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Poet of the People, And, After Sixty Years Just now, as the slumbers of night Came oer me with peace-giving breath, The curtain, half lifted, revealed to my sight Those windows which look on the kingdom of light That borders the River of Death. And a vision fell solemn and sweet, Bringing gleams of a morning-lit land, I saw the white shore which the pale waters beat, heard the low lull as they broke at their feet Who walk on the beautiful strand. And I wondered why spirits should cling To their clay with a struggle and sigh, When life's purple autumn is better than spring, And the soul flies away like a sparrow, to sing In a climate where leaves never die. Leona, come close to my bed, And lay your dear hand on my brow; The same touch thrilled me in days that are fled, And raised the lost roses of youth from the dead, Can brighten the brief moments now.

Download or read book Complete Writings written by Phillis Wheatley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-02-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary writings of Phillis Wheatley, a slave girl turned published poet In 1761, a young girl arrived in Boston on a slave ship, sold to the Wheatley family, and given the name Phillis Wheatley. Struck by Phillis' extraordinary precociousness, the Wheatleys provided her with an education that was unusual for a woman of the time and astonishing for a slave. After studying English and classical literature, geography, the Bible, and Latin, Phillis published her first poem in 1767 at the age of 14, winning much public attention and considerable fame. When Boston publishers who doubted its authenticity rejected an initial collection of her poetry, Wheatley sailed to London in 1773 and found a publisher there for Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This volume collects both Wheatley's letters and her poetry: hymns, elegies, translations, philosophical poems, tales, and epyllions--including a poignant plea to the Earl of Dartmouth urging freedom for America and comparing the country's condition to her own. With her contemplative elegies and her use of the poetic imagination to escape an unsatisfactory world, Wheatley anticipated the Romantic Movement of the following century. The appendices to this edition include poems of Wheatley's contemporary African-American poets: Lucy Terry, Jupiter Harmon, and Francis Williams. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
